Newer gamin package for CentOS 4.x?
by Bart Schaefer 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

The gam_server in gamin-0.1.7-1.2.EL4 occasionally goes into an infinite loop (googling indicates there have been problems with this in gam_server for a long time, I see "another attempt to fix ..." dating from 2004). Does anyone know whether a newer version of gamin has finally fixed this and if so where an RPM or SRPM for the fixed version, suitable for CentOS 4, might be found?

CentOS 5 sysreport
by Alfred von Campe 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

I stumbled across this issue because I requested to install the sysreport package in my kickstart file. Anaconda complains that such a package doesn't exist. There is a bug report about this already (http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2492) but it's certainly a strange situation. 1. Anaconda doesn't think the package sysreport exists 2. yum thinks it exists: # yum list sysreport Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Available Packages sysreport.noarch 1.4.3-13.el5 base 3. But installing with yum fails: # yum install sysreport Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Package sos - 1.7-9.1.el5.noarch already installed and latest version Nothing to do 4. The sysreport file from the sos package fails to run: # sysreport Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/sysreport", line 31, in ? import sos.policyredhat ImportError: No module named sos.policyredhat 5. But if you extract /usr/sbin/sysreport from the sysreport package using rpm2cpio for instance, it works just fine. So it would be nice if yum would allow installing the sysreport package (see step 3 above) as that would appear to solve all the problems. Alfred

LOTD with CentOS 5
by Michael A. Peters 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Howdy folks - I just moved my laptop from Fedora to CentOS. FC6 was running rather sweet, then they decided to EOL it, and F8 - while it had some nice new features, it was just way to quirky for me. I no longer enjoy re-installing the OS quite so often, hence my move to CentOS. So I installed CentOS 5 on my laptop, and built a bunch of packages, making "yet another" repo for CentOS. These are primarily straight rebuilds (in mock) of Fedora 8 source rpm's - taking care to avoid anything that conflicts with or replaces CentOS packages. I know there are a dozen or so addon repos already - and if you are happy with them, stick with them. My goal was to stay as close to Fedora 8 packaging for these addon packages as possible, benefiting from their packaging guidelines, and also to not replace the stable very well tested CentOS packages. [yjl-misc] does not replace any CentOS packages and has stuff from F8 everything like AbiWord, Gnumeric, Bluefish, BitTorrent, etc. as well as some multimedia related libraries. [yjl-livna] has rebuilds of stuff from rpm.livna.org - mostly multimedia related, including xine and totem-xine. Depends on [yjl-misc]. [yjl-php] has php 5.2.5 and does replace the CentOS php, it should probably only be used if something you are doing requires php 5.2.x.

Help with UML editor?
by Scott Ehrlich 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

A colleague, using CentOS 5 64-bit, installed by me, asked me for the following assistance: "The site I was trying to get to was http://www.eclipsedownload.com/. I downloaded the EclipseUML free version, but it's obviously not giving me the information I need. I have Java packages in Eclipse that I would like to display in a class diagram to show how they relate to one another. Theoretically, we have/had licenses for the Omondo tool. I believe the studio edition will do what I need. If we have no licenses, I can download the tool I used previously (http://www.soyatec.com/main.php) but that may have been the cause of my Eclipse crashing. Then again, it crashes once a day or so now, so I don't know if the Soyatec's eUML2 tool will make it any worse. If you find another tool I can use or test, please let me know. I could use it as soon as possible." Thanks for any assistance. Scott

The former is pretty much just like any other router setup - open a browser to point at the router and set it up like any other (even Windows non-wizard setup). The latter I don't know. Thanks. mhr

Problem with local base repo
by Robert Moskowitz 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Last night my rsync got some 'new' files for the base repo and new repodata. This morning, I set a server to upgrade from 5 to 5.1 by setting it to access my local base and updates repos. I got the following error: Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Downloading header for openssh-clients to pack into transaction set. media://1195929637.060433%231/CentOS/openssh-clients-4.3p2-24.el5.i386.rpm: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error unknown url type: media> Trying other mirror. Error: failed to retrieve CentOS/openssh-clients-4.3p2-24.el5.i386.rpm from base error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error unknown url type: media>
